crstHi, something messes up my ip rules. They change to something else a couple of seconds after `netplan apply`. 18.04 with docker and kubernetes on it.00:15
sarnoldhrmph :( ip monitor can print changes but don't seem to include which pid asked for the  changes :(00:19
moonfmdesireHello, I have an HP Laserjet P1006, and tried the ubuntu native add printer, hplip and cups, no success. Is there anyone who can help?00:21
sarnoldwhat do you see? do you get error messages? can you see it on the network with eg nmap?00:21
moonfmdesiresarnold, The printer is there, the computer sees the printer, but no sheets come out00:22
FaTaL_Gfor what it is worth, I can confidently attest speedtest-cli is truly innacurate and apparently the git author/team acknowledges it and will not accept bugs to improve it, however ookla has a linux binary that seems to be very stable and the results make sense. Unfortunately it is not open source. If people care to see stable results the open source package doesn't do it00:22
moonfmdesireThere are 21 pending jobs00:22
moonfmdesireNormally HP is pretty good about printer drivers, but this time is a doozy00:23
moonfmdesireI have added, removed, re-added the printer, to no avail00:24
moonfmdesireCUPS keeps complaining that I have not entered root credentials when I have00:24
moonfmdesireTried four ways to connect the printer via USB. This is for Ubuntu 20.0400:24
moonfmdesirehere: https://pastebin.com/69Qx8UD000:29
moonfmdesireSomeone keeps telling me to get a Mac to fix the printer problem.00:29
moonfmdesire"there was a problem processing document..."00:30
moonfmdesireIt seems that in the years I have used Linux, the printer/peripheral device issue has grown worse.00:35
moonfmdesireUbuntu has gone downhill if they distro cannot get printers working.00:46

nicomachushi all. What's the status on the 18.04 > 20.04 upgrade path? Isn't the .1 out now?01:02
sarnoldsince https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release-development still lists focal, I think the upgrade path still isn't live you; you can run do-release-upgrade -d to start it early if you wish01:06
nicomachusI prefer not to until the proper path is ready, but it should have been with the .1. The status page (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/focal-fossa-20-04-1-lts-point-release-status-tracking/17604) says "Upgrades from 18.04 to 20.04.1 are still disabled as we are working through a few upgrade blockers".

borw3Hello Ubuntu, I have a problem with the 5.4.0.42-generic kernel you guys package, it seems the file /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-42-generic/tools/build/Build.include is missing.07:38
borw3I need it to compile kernel module/drivers as it is needed in /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-42-generic/tools/build/Makefile.build, line 37 states so, but it doesn't exist.07:39
lotuspsychjeborw3: why are you compiling kernel?07:40
borw3I am not compiling kernel, it's just a wifi driver that needs to be compiled, but the kernel of Ubuntu is missing that file.07:41
lotuspsychjeborw3: if something doesnt work out of the box, please file a new !bug for the current kernel, you dont need own compiles really07:42
borw3lotuspsychje, LOL! I am not compiling the kernel, I am trying to install wifi drivers. but that file /usr/src/linux-headers-5.4.0-42-generic/tools/build/Build.include is missing07:43
lotuspsychjeborw3: yeah i understand you, still i would advice you to search the root of the problem why your wifi driver is not working properly first07:44
lotuspsychjeborw3: if nobody files bugs, the developers will never know about your issue, agree?07:45
lotuspsychjeborw3: can you share your dmesg plz?07:46
borw3lotuspsychje, I am trying to develop/update old drivers of wifi card rt3290sta, I been maintaining my own version as the original stopped working after kernel 3.7.x but mine also has stopped working and it's due to that missing file,07:46
borw3the driver works fine(but with low power) with the normal kernel drivers out of the box, this one I am trying to handle has boosted power.07:47
borw3low power means low range.07:47
borw3I have to literally be sitting 1m away from the wifi router for it to give reasonable speeds. LOL!07:48
lotuspsychjeborw3: oh if you are trying to contribute/develop please talk to the #ubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-kernel guys, they might give you more insight about it then07:48
borw3lotuspsychje, thanks, didn't know that.07:49

nsaundersI was looking at an askubuntu q where they were saying it wasn't much different, but then a comment said to remove ubuntu-desktop.10:15
nsaundersI'm not looking for speed so much as I think I run out of RAM and get freezes.  Sometimes a pegged CPU.10:15
nsaunderswhat's the distincton between xfce4 and xubuntu-desktop?10:16
xtaonot sure. i just installed xubuntu from scratch so that became the default desktop out of the box. there's a #xubuntu channel which is dedicated to that flavor. i assume if you were using ubuntu then my uneducated guess would be that xfce4 would add it as an additional desktop environment where you could use the gnome login manager to select either gnome or xfce, and xubuntu-desktop probably converts ...10:18
xtao...it into xubuntu itself using the lightdm manager etc ?10:18

legreffierdon't remove ubuntu-desktop though.10:26

hugh_mareraI am running Ubuntu Focal Fossa. I have just upgraded to firefox 80.0 but when i run this command "ps -A | grep firefox" it does not show the process id. Also, i cannot close firefox from the terminal using either "pkill/killall". Is this as intended?17:41

tomreynhugh_marera: you'll be better services with "ps -ef" or "ps a"19:02
hugh_mareratomreyn: even pkill/killall seems not to close firefox too19:03
tomreynrapidwave: is the guest running a supported ubuntu version, or the host, or both? and which version? and which virtualbox packages are you using?19:03
tomreynhugh_marera: why are you trying to do this, what's the greater gioal?19:06
tomreyn*goal19:06
hugh_mareramy goal is to be able to close firefox from the terminal. I was able to do so via "pkill firefox" from the terminal, until today's update to firefox 80.0. So, am not sure if it is me only having this problem19:08
rapidwaveTHe host is Windows 10 with VirtualBox 6.0...guest is Ubuntu 18.04.119:08
xtaoi can't see firefox with ps -A but it does appear with ps -ef19:08
xtaothat's odd though isn't it, as -A according to the man page is show all processes19:09
hugh_mareraxtao: can you kill firefox from the terminal?19:10
hugh_mareralike pkill firefox19:10
xtaoyeah that's weird. so -A and -e do the same thing according to the man page. neither option shows firefox. but if you add -f then it works. -f is only meant to show more columns19:11
xtaoand no, pkill firefox does nothing19:11
hugh_mareraps -ef does show it19:11
DocMorshugh_marera, if you want to do -A it's called MainThread19:35
hugh_mareraDocMors: Ok, i thought it is supposed to show all processes?19:37
DocMorswell not sure maybe they changed the name, I do -ef normally because I get more info19:38
hugh_marerathis is what it shows on  the manpage " -A     Select all processes.  Identical to -e."19:39
xtaoyeah it's the same process ID. just it's called MainThread with -A and firefox with -f. i guess it's something related to process threads then. but the man page isn't really clear on what that's meant to show19:40
hugh_mareraUltimately i was searching for the process id for firefox but running "ps -A | grep firefox" returns a blank19:40
DocMorshugh_marera, I did that in the past too but they changed something19:41
hugh_mareraso i cannot kill firefox from the terminal. I think this started from the update  i  did today . now  "pkill firefox " or "killall firefox" do not kill firefox at all19:43
tomreynpgrep -lf firefox19:43
DocMorshugh_marera, you can killall MainThread19:44
hugh_mareralike killall MainThread firefox?19:45
DocMorsno just like 'killall MainThread' but you can just try instead of asking these questions19:46

jemHi, this is just a curiosity: in plain bash, Spanish keyboard layout, several times I got accidentally "combinations" of two letters like this: ㏚ (Square pr, Unicode 0x33DA) when trying to type those two letters, but pressing some wrong key at the same time... I can't figure out nor reproduce the mistake; when searching, I can find about p. e. Ctrl+Shift+U33DA but nothing involving two letters20:07
tomreynmifritscher: ctrl-l, ctrl-v20:07
jemI asked some days ago and Sven_vB answered, but didn't answered a second time20:08

mifritschertomreyn: ah, thanks - seems to work ;) is there a way to get this key combo in this window - or does only asking (or perhaps a search engine albeit I didn't know the right search words I must admit) help?20:10
oerheksWarning: The home dir /nonexistent you specified can't be accessed: No such file ??20:13
tomreynmifritscher: i don't understand what you mean by "is there a way to get this key combo in this window" - didn't i just explain this?20:15
mifritscherget = read fits perhaps better ;-) I know my memory^^20:17

Loshkijem: it took me years to figure out I was catching the F11 key with my finger when I hit backspace20:18
tomreynmifritscher: IIRC, if you    rm ~/.config/gnome-initial-setup-done    and log out and log in, you should get to see a list of common keyboard shortcuts towards the end.20:19
tomreyni'm not sure whether application specific ones like ctrl-l for nautilus will be on this list, though20:20
mifritschertomreyn: little problem: I'm using gtk applications with the mate desktop - or even on Windows *g*20:21
tomreynthis channel is about ubuntu and its common foundations with other flavours. you may want to ask in #ubuntu-mate20:22

b_rakeHi everyone, I was hoping someone could answer a question for me or point me in a direction where I could find an answer. Is there a way to make partman in preseed accept mkfs options? Particularly to add or remove features20:33
MikeRLWondering if it'll fall for it.20:33
b_rakeie mkfs.ext4 -O ^$feature20:34
jemLoshki: I can imagine :), but I guess it's not my case20:35
MikeRLWell even creating a bs directory still causes it to error out.20:38
Sven_vBb_rake, probably not the best answer, but in a ditch you could make a wrapper script around partman, or straight-out patch it to make your desired options the defaults. and if that turns out cumbersome, there are other auto-install methods available, too.20:38
